An 11-year-old Chinese boy who earned 4,000 yuan (US$550) a month selling milk tea at the night market during the summer holidays has been praised for his “business sense”.

Nicknamed Nuomi, the boy is a Primary Five student in central China’s Hunan province.

His mother, surnamed Li, said she let him work as a street vendor to reward him for coming first in class during last term’s final exam.

He got 100 points in English and mathematics and 98 in the Chinese exam.
